Watching Wednesday: Dachshunds

My family has a long history with dachshunds, the best little dogs in the world. (Johnny is about 20% dachshund; close enough). Which is one of the reasons why I love this very old Sprint commercial, along with its straight-faced absurdity. It’s sixty seconds of really dumb stuff that I find not only funny but tremendously endearing with its assumption that this is just normal and all you need to fix the problem is a good cellphone. Times were simpler back then.
